Move into property during probate?
Comments

What I was trying to emphasize was that occupying the property without notifying the authorities was illegal. It is not unknown for family members to occupy such a property having produced a death certificate and "forgetting" to tell the authorities. An executor needs to remember that they would be personally liable under such circumstances.SevenOfNine wrote: »Suggesting those who move in to probate properties PAY the council tax is NOT a fraudulent suggestion. I am emphasising the CORRECT procedure.
I've highlighted the relevant text in my initial response in red to assist you with exactly what was written, the rest is information on what happens with probate properties so those moving in are clear on what charges STOP when the property is empty - therefore it becomes due while they are in it!0 -
Council tax liability is with the occupiers unless they pay council tax elsewhere and are staying on a temporary basis or one of the other cases where the owner is liable like HMO.0
